Apparently the combination of NIC and Brocade switch don't like those transceivers. i got a 40gbe DAC in today and it is working perfectly. So...

To the best of my knowledge yes. I also checked in the boot firmware and it appears to be in NIC mode...

Rebooted switch, Swapped Transceivers, verified that it's in NIC mode not IB mode. Using SMF, Verified that all the stacking info is cleared. I have to be missing something... Edit: Plugged 2 transceivers into the 2 40gb ports and looped them and the ports came up. Problem is at the NIC...

On the 6610 I had the same issue. It doesn't do anything with IP's and DHCP other than the management until you setup a VE for the vlan. conf t vlan 50 tagged e 1/1/2 router-interface ve 50 int ve 50 The above commands enter config, goto vlan 50, setup a virtual ethernet device of 50, and...

I was speaking to an Engineer where I work and he thinks my issue is actually my fiber. the transceivers are SMF and all i have is multimode om2/3. I have some Single Mode fiber on order and will be here tomorrow. will do further investigation on the card if that doesn't pan out.

SO trying to connect my ESXi host toi my ICX6610 via 1/2/1 or 1/2/6. VMWare says the link is up but brocade says it is down. The 6610 sees the transceiver, mtu's are the same. any tips on this? that is all the relevant stuff i can think of to this NIC: HP InfiniBand FDR/Ethernet 10Gb/40Gb...

On full up servers yes you can assign the ilo to be shared with another nic but it doesn't make the ilo port avail to OS and on these you can't even do that. I could use a trick with managed switch and vlans but that is too much effort

Not sure but keep it with it, i just haven't see the NIC for less than like $250 and i only paid like 140 for my ec200a's. The nic would just let me turn 1 of them into a pfsense box cause i need 3 nics and those only have 2. wasn't trying to get you to sell the nic just pointing out they are...

i want the 4 port nic/comm board but don't need another of those servers...have 3. can't find the comm boards anywhere at a reasonable price. i haven't seen one for less than double what i paid for the server...

yes it's a raw 6 pair om4 fiber. in fact it's still on the spool at one end cause the left it. I know that the tools are expensive and i'm not sure what i'll need that is why i was looking for someone that does know and has the tools

Bump, Any interest?

Had a 12 Fiber OM4 cable ran today with no tips. Looking to put MPO connectors on them for QSFP+. Plan is 1 end will go into a QSFP+ on an ICX6610 and the other end will either goto a 40GB uplink or split to 4 10GB i do not have the tools or knowledge for this. i will pay for parts and throw...

Let me think about it. i'm interested but just bought a house and i'm not sure i have that much disposable...my eyes may have been too big for my budget on this. i need to get a new FW and am in negotiations on that first

what do you mean by " front drive bay power supply is damaged " on the R720? is it the power cable/connector or the backplane that is damaged? And what kinda deal are we talking for the r720, all the processors, a 099GTM and 2 SAS9201-16e

what i'm really trying to figure out is how to have the dockers talk to each other without external IP's i remember reading about setting up a named connection but not sure how to set that up. like i said if i could get the dockers to have LAN IP's instead of 172's or whatever docker ip's that...

Here is the situation I'm trying to figure out. I am looking to run Nested DNS on my network. AD-DNS->Pi-Hole->SteamCache The AD-DNS is in a VM and I can point it at the pi-hole but I use Synology for my docker for light things. When I used UnRaid I could pull a network IP to the container but...

Easy solution if your side square holes are in the right spot and this should be a sub $10 fix. 2xcage nuts 1xThreaded Rod Cut to length 1xHeat Shrink Cut threaded rod to about 20" and debur/clean up cut end Place Cage nuts in side 1 at appropriate height. Cut heat shrink to 2 pieces, 16" Long...

From what i've seen over the years, just about any 42-45U 4 post rack with square holes instead of threaded will work fine. You can have panels and doors or open rack. something to consider, If this is for home lab/tinkering i would recommend an open rack and if you have both the room for and a...

Can anyone tell me if the breakout of 1x40GBe QSFP+ to 4x10GBe SFP+ is standard to the specification of has to be specifically supported by the switch? Either way can someone recommend one that does that that has 2 or 4 QSFP+ and 48x1GB?
